Several days ago, I met up with a member of my church and asked her how her week had been. She thought for a moment, shrugged her shoulders, and replied, "No complaints."

It caught me off guard and made me examine at my outlook on life. How often do I answer that question with, "No complaints" when I should be looking for testimony of God's hand and grace in each moment? Am I looking for problems in my life?

Do I, a sinner, pay so little attention to the grace that is given me and the love and compassion and promises of an Almighty God that I forget to thank Him? Do I, a child of that Almighty God, skim so lightly over the Psalmist's exhortations to give thanks unto the Lord and praises unto the Most High? Lord, help me to change my glasses to see things through your perspective. May I seek to give you praise.
